What are you expecting this year from UBC?
Absolutely nothing….’that is un-fun’. Already having gone to formal orientation, informal retreat, and meetings I see that this is an awesome group of people; ’people love this stuff!’ As a 2nd year class rep for BC, I am anticipating a lot for the students of McCombs. The group of reps already shows a strong passion for listening to students and trying to implement new programs in response to what students want from our organization. We just recently discussed the possibility of having a table set up in McCombs once a month to give students the chance to come up to their rep and give their suggestions….so excited!
So now I will start writing like my name is Amanda Peters. So…expectations…hmmm the only expectations I have for BC this year, personally, are that it is going to be AWESOME and I will learn a lot! I honestly, still, cannot fathom that I am in such an awesome organization with such amazing members. Throughout the upcoming year I anticipate many friendships and relationships forming that will last a lifetime. Already from the informal retreat I met so many people and know that I will be able to recall stories with them for a lifetime. For example, the first night of informal was awesome. As all of us made our way back to the cabin area around 2 30 am suddenly Scott introduced us to a secret weapon he had packed and brought with him to retreat. This instrument was one of the most amazing creations I have ever laid eyes on; a marshmallow shooter complete with marshmallows for amo. Seeing this, Matt got the idea that we should try to shoot Thomas and Hunter back at the main building. So the three of us put on our dark gear and headed out into the night. As we made our way closer to the building we got lower to the ground and whispered as to not attract Thomas or Hunter’s attention. The whole time, we are laughing though because we all looked ridiculous and it seemed that the property owner’s Dalmatian thought we were predators so every time that we would crouch down the dog would try to bite our booty and attack us, well mostly the dog attacked me… Any who, we were behind a wall and so Scott knew this was his chance and as he shot the marshmallow we heard the chairs move and we knew that Hunter and Thomas were going to try to get us. Remember, it is dark , and the guys take off running and so do I… but somehow I got all turned around and I needed to get back with my ‘platoon’ …so, in the dark, I sprinted across the garden and before I knew it I was laying in a raised rock flower bed from falling in the dark… only to hear immediate laughter at my misfortune. I am going to have a scar on my leg, but I am totally fine with that…it was an awesome time that I will remember forever. Thanks UBC…I expect more crazy stuff like this.
